Recommended Western pop coming-of-age songs for weddings and wedding receptions

There are many milestones in life where we put a period at the end of our “youth.” Maybe there are so many because it’s actually hard to bring youth to a close.

That said, marriage is probably one of the most powerful events for drawing a firm line under youth.

Here, we’ve gathered a collection of youth songs that are perfect for such life milestones.

Recommended Western pop/rock coming-of-age songs for weddings and receptions (71–80)

I Want YouSavage Garden

Savage Garden – I Want You (Official Video)
I Want YouSavage Garden

It was used as the ending theme for the anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond Is Unbreakable.

It’s upbeat but doesn’t interfere with conversation, so I think it would be stylish as background music during a wedding or reception cocktail hour.

It’s the song that all the characters sing and dance to together during the final wedding scene in DreamWorks’ animated film Shrek.

It’s a pop cover of a famous track by the American band The Monkees.

The Japanese title is “Koi ni Ikiyou” (literally, “Let’s Live for Love”).

It’s perfect for livening up weddings and receptions.

It was used as the ending theme for the anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders, specifically the so-called Egypt Arc.

It will add an exotic touch to your wedding ceremony or reception.

The song is performed by an American girl band that was popular in the 1980s.

This is the song that Meena the elephant performed on stage in Illumination Studio’s animated film “SING.” It’s a cover of Stevie Wonder’s classic.

The Japanese title is “Don’t You Worry ’Bout a Thing.” I think it would be great for livening up a wedding ceremony or reception.

Ariana Grande – Lovin’ It (Traducida al español)

What we want you to watch out for when choosing popular Western artists’ songs as BGM for your wedding or reception is the lyrics! It would be sad if it turned out to be a breakup song, even if it’s a famous, familiar tune.

For Ariana Grande fans, we recommend this one.

It’s a love song perfect for spring weddings and receptions.
